There should be no problem I think, but will likely have non-optimal performance. Only was to know for sure is trying. Note you’ll need to enable options in your BIOS.
I insist on the Linux migration. That machine is underspecd for 2026 Windows, plus Windows 10 doesn’t receive security parches. Begineer-friendly distro are very easy to use, and you can try a dual boot setup to see if he can get used to it. For begineers I usually go for Linux Mint, or ZorinOS.
Maybe another option is see if you can upgrade a little bit the RAM.
